A Little Bit of Something
“A Little Bit of Something is Better Than All of Nothing” is a phrase I remember since early childhood. In theory, it sounds logical. I'd rather have a little piece of candy than none at all. Wouldn't we all (unless you're diabetic, allergic or...

Consequences
God has moments of anger, like as do we. However, some have misconceptions about His response. There's an unspoken law of consequences between the forces of good and evil, a result of being born into a sinful world. In observing my daughter, as a...

Revelations A Study. Section 13.
Revelations A Study. Section 13. Chapter 17:1 thru 19:3, The judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters. The anti-christ, to try to defeat Jesus must take as many kingdoms as he can by force, to gain a great army. He also knows prophecy but still trys to change it. Rev 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters = :peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
Rev 17:2 = A false sense of Power.
Rev 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit = not in body, into the wilderness = of man: and I saw a woman {Dan_7:23;} sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads = seven mountains = seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come = {Dan_12:4, Dan_12:8-10; Hos_14:9; Mat_13:11, Mat_24:15}; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space, on which the woman sitteth.and ten horns = ten kings.
Rev 17:4 = Earthly Riches.
Rev 17:5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. = False religion. This introduces us to the one world religion that many Kings are speaking of today to help stop war.
Rev 17:6 thru 17:7 are Literial and self explanitory.
Rev 17:8 The beast = Satan, that thou sawest was, and is not = Satan is present but without power.; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition = Hell [Ref:Mar_9:44;] and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when {dont let this next line confuse you. Satan at this point “was” “But without Power”,”But His day hasnt come yet.”,}they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
Rev 17:11 thru Rev 17:14. Literial and self explanitory. The Ten Kings are the Kings, of this moment, of the ten kingdoms of the old Roman Empire. Which you have allready been given a list. The anti-christ makes war on ten kingdoms, he takes the first three by force and theother seven capitulate.Giveing the anti-christ power over all 10. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
Rev 17:16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. [Very important References;
Eze_16:37-44, Eze_23:45-49; Dan_2:40-43, Dan_7:7, Dan_7:8, Dan_7:20,Dan_7:24; Zec_1:18-21]
Rev 17:17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
Rev 17:18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. This last verse indicates that it is Rome. Why? Look at the wording; “great city”, which “reigneth” “over the kings of the earth”. Rome in scripture is always mentioned haveing great power and vast rule.In early Roman Hystory, the Pope of Rome ordered the Idols of Babylon, to be removed and brought to Rome and be re-dedicated to God. This act was against Scripture. Babylon, that mighty city. Rev 18:1 thru Rev 19:3 are literial and self explainitory. “I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.” “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen” ”the merchants of the earth are waxed rich”
Rev 18:12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
Rev 18:13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
Rev 18:19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness= the quality possessed by something with a great price or value! for in one hour is she made desolate. The next question most people ask is,”What City is Babylon?” Babylon is not only a city but a religion. If we look close at the description of the city we can eliminate 99% of all countries of the world. There are three destinct intrepretations of what the city is. The First is, Babylon Iraq, which still stand, thou in great ruin. The second is Rome with her controll of religion in many nations of the Earth. The Third, which I believe is most likely, is New York City. The Tradeing Center of the World. New York sea ports, financial institutions, N.Y.S.Exchange, Nasdac, ect. and trade centers. We will get into greator detail on the city in our study of Daniel. end section 13.
